This drawing shows a cherub sitting on a pile of books. It’s holding an open book with one hand and a magnifying glass in the other. Around the cherub, there’s a wreath made of leaves and flowers. The whole scene looks like it’s framed by a decorative border. The name "Florence Sylva Wheeler" is written at the bottom. This kind of drawing is called a bookplate—people used them to mark their books. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more old drawings like this.
